Perspective: Lessons from COVID-19 of countries in the European region in light of findings from the health system response monitor by Florian Tille, Ewout Van Ginneken, Juliane Winkelmann, Juliane Winkelmann, Cristina Hernandez-Quevedo, Michelle Falkenbach, Michelle Falkenbach, Anna Sagan, Anna Sagan, Marina Karanikolos, Jonathan Cylus, Jonathan Cylus

“…IntroductionDecision-makers initially had limited data to inform their policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. The research community developed several online databases to track cases, deaths, and hospitalizations; however, a major deficiency was the lack of detailed information on how health systems were responding to the pandemic and how they would need to be transformed going forward.ApproachIn an effort to fill this information gap, in March 2020, the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies, the WHO European Regional Office and the European Commission created the COVID-19 Health System Response Monitor (HSRM) to collect and organise up-to-date information on how health systems, mainly in the WHO European Region, were responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.FindingsThe HSRM analysis and broader Observatory work on COVID-19 shone light on a range of health system challenges and weaknesses and catalogued policy options countries put in place during the pandemic to address these. …”

AI and Incidental Findings by Eric Cyphers, Venkatesh Krishnasamy, Joshua Weintraub

“…For example, decades of research demonstrate that incidentally discovered simple pancreatic cysts should be initially re-imaged in six months, while incidentally discovered renal masses less than one centimeter should be initially re-imaged in three to six months.[3] Fortunately, the radiology community developed advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline the screening, reporting, and tracking of follow-up on incidental findings based on best practice advisories.[4] A recent study at Northwestern University established the usefulness of prospectively applying AI to screen, report, and track certain incidental findings warranting follow-up.[5] AI can easily be applied to look back at recent imaging studies lying dormant in hospital databases to ensure that all significant incidental findings warranting follow-up care have been reported and tracked to completion. …”
